| Reverse description | A frontal view of the Paraguayan Parliament Building (Palacio del Congreso) is depicted in fine detail at the center of the field, rendered with its columned neoclassical facade and an ornamental fountain with a statue on a pedestal in the foreground. The legend PARLIAMENT OF PARAGUAY arcs along the upper periphery within a beaded border. The composition conveys an architectural precision characteristic of commemorative gold issues of this era. |

| Additional information |
Paraguay's 1975 gold issues were struck as part of a broader series of collector coins produced under the Stroessner dictatorship, largely for export sale rather than domestic circulation. The regime used foreign-currency-generating numismatic programs aggressively throughout the 1970s, contracting production to foreign mints to meet international collector demand.
KM#179 was struck at the Casa de Moneda in Stuttgart under contract — a detail that distinguishes it from purely domestic issues of the period.
